We love getting more kids on bikes. If your school doesn’t have a balance bike program, we’d love to help! We’ve worked with the School District of La Crosse and the La Crosse Public Education Foundation to get a fleet of balance bikes into Summit Environmental School, Harry Spence Elementary School, and Northside School.

Balance bike fleets in schools
Bike buses
Interested in starting a bike bus at your school? We work with the Safe Routes to School Program to promote safe routes by foot and by bike. We’ve been leading a bike bus for Summit Environmental School for the last couple years. Get in touch if you have questions.
Moon Tunes
On Thursday nights during the summer, we provide free bike corral parking at Moon Tunes. This provides supervised front row bicycle parking, to encourage goers to pedal to the concert and avoid car congestion. We love talking to all of our friends and listening to some great music at the same time.
Beer By Bike Brigade
We enjoy being an active member of BBBB, helping our community, crushing school lunch debt, hosting a ride stop, and participating in all of their events such as the Chili Cook-off and Bake Sale. You may also see us driving around carrying a van load of diapers or food from the latest BBBB fundraiser. To find out more about this crazy little bicycle bar hop and their wonderful events, click here.
ORA Trails
Volunteering for ORA Trails is not only great for our community, its great for our souls. Whether we are working on the trails, teaching kids to mountain bike, or cleaning up trash, we know how important they are for all community members. Our Hixon Forest shared-use trails offer a venue to exercise, de-stress, and wander.
Maple Leaf Races
We love leading out the Maple Leaf races. Sometimes we have to get out the ebikes to keep up with the fast runners.
La Crosse Omnium
Turn #4 is Smith’s territory. We protect this corner so the racers can safely speed through it. We may be out there all day, but we love the action and comradery.
ORA Trails Fest
If we’re not racing, we’re volunteering at the most exciting west side of the state mountain bike race around. We spend the day at our well known Hixon Trails providing support to racers and specters. If you want climbing, we got it.
Cranksgiving
We partner with Blue Steel Bikes to offer this part scavenger hunt, part food drive, and all bike ride event! No holiday season is complete without Cranksgiving. See details on our 2024 event here!
Rotary Lights Ride
Every December owners Erik and Randi each decorate a window in our store to celebrate the holiday season. We invite YOU to vote for your favorite with a donation of a canned good. Join us in helping those in need for the first two weeks of December. And then…
What’s more fun than riding your bike through a sea of Christmas lights with awesome friends while delivering non-perishable food items? Nothing. This is a truly amazing ride. See information about our 2024 ride!
